i imagine a tank with 800 of these in it would look pretty badass

oh these look really nice. I would love some. Anyone know of any where in the south (hampshire) that sells them? or mail order?

i got mine from BAS in bolton but i think a few more have them too, do a search on www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk and see who's got them in stock.

regards,

andy

I'm trying to get them but probably I will have to buy them in Germany

I've seen these in 2 shops now in Derbyshire so they're definitely becoming more available! They are a lot smaller than I expected them to be though! And for that price probably not something I will venture into.

Andrew, how is the behaviour of these little fish? Today I bought some Boraras maculata and their very cute but also a bit stressed, are the sp.gallaxy also very busy?

yes very busy indeed. once they settle in their colours improve and their tails on the male fish are scarlette. they twist and twirl all the time.... fun to watch

I believe Cherryhill nurseries just outside Middlesbrough are getting some in soon, not sure on the price yet.

Tempted to dig out my old killie set ups and get some.

Love them! Zippy and a teeny bit shy. Quite a character. Pity they don't school, behaves like Microrasbora erythromicron-darting around here and there.

For those in the UK I saw some of these at Maidenhead Aquatics at Mere Park near Telford, Shropshire and they weren't as costly as I've seen them elsewhere! £4 each and there was a deal on buying I think it was half a dozen which was reasonable. They've had them in since before they appeared in PFK apparently!
